Abstract

A mathematical model for pineapple glace' drying based on thermal equilibrium between the drying air and the product was developed. The effect of temperature on product quality was observed. The effect of temperature, air flow rate and traction of air recycled on drying time and energy consumption were also observed. The criteria for optimum drying of pineapple glace' in a cabinet dryer were product quality, drying time and energy consumption. Experimental and simulated results showed that a drying temperature of 65°C, a specific air flow rate of about 11 kg dry air/h-kg dry pineapple glace' and about 0.75 of air recycled should be used.
